Xin Yue chose this book because she took the title literally, and she immediately thought of the disappeared "Long Reader".It's all about women's reading, or rather about women's inability to read.Is it dangerous?Yes, it can be said that both are dangerous, but the direction of danger is completely different.

A thought came to Xin Yue's mind, but he didn't say it out loud.She remembered a line from the movie "The Reader" "How long would you keep secret?" Well, probably this line also applies to Jiang Yinqi.

The Dangers of Women Who Read reads at the headline: A history of reading in pictures from the 21th to the [-]st centuries by Stefan Bormann

This is not a rigorous history book, but a loose essay.The two of them agreed not to read from the beginning step by step, but to choose what they want to read or listen to as they like.They leaned their heads against each other, flipping through the books in their hands, reading the famous paintings in the book, and scanning the contents of the catalog.

Such casual reading is quite effective.Will not fall into a long and boring state at all.

Xin Yue was in charge of reading aloud, and Jiang Yinqi was in charge of serving tea, wine and snacks.Work together seamlessly.

"Come on, listen to this chapter and read it silently." Xin Yue chose this chapter.She finds it interesting to read a passage about silent reading aloud, and the sense of conflict is interesting.

"... Today we often wonder if someone makes a sound while reading. Even if it is just a whisper or a slight movement of the lips, it will make no difference; if the reader is not a small The words of children make people unable to help but want to find out the reason for doing that."

Jiang Yinqi pouted and complained, "I found it annoying since I was a child. My mother insisted that I read every book aloud. I don't know what's wrong. It made me learn to read silently when I was a little older. , and the reading speed is relatively slow. But why does this book discuss this?"

"Well, here's your answer." Xin Yue continued to read, "It is undeniable that silent reading takes much less time than reading aloud, and enables readers to form a relationship without external interference with the reading. In this way , readers can hide the content of the book like others, and absorb it by themselves.”

. . . . . .

"Anyone in classical times who did not read aloud or read without speaking a word must have evoked exactly the same reaction. Up until the late Middle Ages, reading had two dimensions at once: thought and conversation."

Jiang Yinqi forked a piece of apple and handed it to Xin Yue as a reward. At the same time, he took the time to highlight the key points, "We don't need to read silently now. We are locked at home and isolated from the world. If we are separated from each other, we will be too lonely. The ancients did Yes, reading requires thought and talk."

Xin Yue also nodded.She likes to discuss with Jiang Yinqi.The two of them easily came to an agreement, setting the tone for their reading and interaction.But this cannot avoid their differences and conflicts in the process of thinking and discussion.

For example, about reading and danger, the two of them argued endlessly.

Jiang Yinqi believes that women's reading is beneficial and harmless to themselves, and the danger is a challenge to society, especially a patriarchal society.For myself, it creates an independent and free spiritual world and a sense of self-identity for myself.Reading is the starting point of a woman's road to freedom.For example, Lila and Lennon in "My Brilliant Girlfriend".

Xin Yue believes that reading is not beneficial and harmless, and sometimes it is harmful to oneself, especially love novels.Many love stories obviously come from fantasy, but the writer's excellent writing ability is very close to real life in details, and the concept is clever, so many readers mistakenly believe that it is reality.And the huge gap in my real life is frustrating.Some people feel that their life is not worth living, while others use their minds to distort reality.

Jiang Yinqi retorted that life skills and quality of life can be improved through reading.It is generally believed that art imitates life, and Wilde believed that life imitates art.Jiang Yinqi agreed with Wilde's statement.If we all only see the fluffy dogs in our lives and take the seven aunts and eight aunts as models, we will get worse and worse, and we will never make progress.We will find no value in life.Reading allows us to find targets for imitation.

Discussions never need conclusions, so the fun for both of them is the debate itself, and then it goes on infinitely.

They continued to search for interesting parts, especially those paintings, and selected them for reading and discussion.

Jiang Yinqi found the stills of "My Genius Girlfriend", "Lila and Lenon's reading is so beautiful. I can watch this drama again with you."

Xin Yue found a famous painting to testify, and some people had the same idea as him.It was a painting "The Fiction Reader" by the Belgian painter Antoine Welz.A naked woman is lying in bed reading a novel, and the devil under the bed is handing more novels to the reading woman.Jiang Yinqi laughed out loud, and almost asked Xin Yue if he had read in this posture before?Thinking of the implication of impurity in this statement, I held back.

The two of them also have the same point of view, and reading can express feelings.That was another movie "Portrait of a Burning Woman" recommended by Jiang Yinqi.The two of them immediately put down their books and started watching the drama.

Later, "Page 28" became a kind of code word between Jiang Yinqi and Xin Yue, representing longings that are unknown to outsiders.

Reading together quickly shortened the distance between the two of them.

Jiang Yinqi turned to a certain page, "It's time to change the scene, let's go to the bedroom to read this paragraph."

Xin Yue saw that the title was "Reading in Bed".

Without waiting for Xin Yue to refuse, Jiang Yinqi moved upstairs with two glasses of wine.
